I cycled slowly past the EA guy this morning on the Abingdon Rd barricade, made eye contact and said 'hello' but he made no request for me to dismount so I didn't.

Whether they'll be requiring people to dismount when the gully-cleaning starts I don't know.

The roads which have been flooded have got a coating of slippery silt on them though so be careful out there!

Cyclists do not stop at traffice lights so I cant see them taking any notice of a road being closed. I must say though, this morning I saw one stop at a red light in Parks Road..........

Now that the floods have largely subsided, can I remind the Oxford Mail that January 13 was last year. On this side of the Atlantic today is known as 13th January.

Not an Oxford thing, but the point about slippery surfaces is an important one! Langel Common in Witney is VERY slippery, and I saw both pedestrians and cyclists struggling this morning through a combination of a light frost and a light covering of silt. Be careful!

It was probably a colour-blind cyclist then !

I am @uk_darla. I live in the area of Abingdon Road directly effected by the floods. I have lived there for over 25 years.

There was no water on the roads this morning, I do not have to dismount and walk, I was endangering no one, nor causing bow waves to enter peoples homes as there was no water.

For the record, I am also a car driver. I stop at traffic lights and obey road rules, whether driving or cycling.

Surely you all have better things to concern yourself with during Oxford's flooding than me cycling up a water free road this morning?
